Kids will be kids. Playing, running, jumping, riding bikes and playing sports can cause a lot of joy for kids, but they also can cause their fair share of injuries. Our orthopedic team is specially trained to deal with fractures and injuries in growing children and teens, so they can get back to being active.
Treatment depends on which bone is broken and how seriously. It can range from RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation), a splint, cast, collar, crutches or wheelchair up to surgery, traction, closed reduction, medication and physical therapy.
